Humankind needs to "listen" in self-cultivation practice        -  Milarepa

Maestro Tan Dun will be presenting a richly laid out programme on Life, which include performances, a talk and an exhibition on the grounds of Chi Lin Nunnery.  It will be in the form of four art series elucidating "self-cultivation by listening", a spiritual discovery that had enlightened Milarepa, Stravinsky and Tan himself.

 

In the courtyards and gardens of Chi Lin Nunnery, a holistic experience of architecture and music, Dunhuang murals and meta-universe, a filming location, and a drama and dance performance will take place.  It is an occasion where the audience can feel the omni-presence of beauty, whether in the form of nature, the arts or vibes Chinese history and culture.  Under the setting sun, the Chi Lin Nunnery building complex gradually fades into the night as if into a dream or a magical mirror... The performance will begin when those present are least expecting it, allowing people to enter the mystic shifts of the universe and the meta-universe - also known as the "programme of the evening": Lotus, Dialogue between Bach and the Pure Land, Great Compassion Mantra · Water Rock 'n' Roll, String Quartet and Pipa, The Four Seasons and more.  The works will be a soul-purging, dreamlike experience for those attending.
